Dear Self—Do not pass Go, do not bang your oldest friend
in the limo on the way to the swanky Vegas hotel. Just get back on the plane,
fly home, and forget you almost had co-ed naked best buddy time with the one
man who is completely off limits.

I give myself very good advice.

Too bad I suck at taking it.

Not that Colin Donovan, my bad boy rock star best friend, is
any help. Walking around looking ridiculously sexy, telling me I’m beautiful
and fun and perfect the way I am and somehow making me believe it.

If only we hadn’t drunk so much whiskey that first night, if
only I’d kept that red bikini in my suitcase, if only his evil ex-girlfriend
hadn’t come sniffing around making me feel all territorial and protective.

And if only I hadn’t been secretly in love with Colin for
years before this Friends with Bennies Vacation got started.

Who knows? Maybe the high will be worth the fall.

Either way, there’s no way I’m leaving Vegas without one
heck of a Bangover.

The Bangover is a red-hot, laugh out loud rom-com
featuring two best friends on a collision course with Vegas-flavored
disaster—and each other. It stands alone. No cheating or cliffhangers.

Author of
over forty novels, USA Today Bestseller Lili Valente writes everything from
steamy suspense to laugh-out-loud romantic comedies. A die-hard romantic and
optimist at heart, she can’t resist a story where love wins big. Because love
should always win.

When she’s
not writing, Lili enjoys adventuring with her two sons, climbing on rocks,
swimming too far from shore, and asking “why” an incorrigible number of times
per day. A former yoga teacher, actor, and dancer, she is also very bendy and
good at pretending innocence when caught investigating off-limits places.

You can
currently find Lili in the mid-South, valiantly trying to resist the lure of
all the places left to explore.

I don’t date alpha males. Especially
not alpha males with egos the size of Jupiter, who also happen to be my boss’s big brother.

Deacon Hunter is domineering. Condescending. Infuriating.

And yet I can’t seem to keep my panties on for five minutes when we’re alone together.

He keeps melting them right off. With that sexy voice, those confident hands, the way he brings my body wildly to life, he’s proved my libido hasn’t gone into permanent, post-divorce hibernation after all.

Surely there’s no harm in being enemies with benefits… Right?

***

When Violet Boden asks me to take her Divorce Virginity, the only thing I can think is—come again?

No, seriously, come again.

And again and again, until both of us are so satisfied we can’t remember the people who did us wrong.

Best if we keep conversation to a minimum, though, considering I drive her crazy. She drives me crazy sometimes, too. But she’s also sweet, loyal, fearless, and so much fun she’s making it damn hard not to fall for her.

But how to convince a woman who’s put me in the emotional no-fly zone that I deserve a place in her heart?

Wanted: Discreet Dominant gentleman to teach maybe-submissive woman the rules of the game. No whips, chains, paddles, handcuffs, ropes, or toys. No nookie. No creepy stuff. No butt stuff.
No gluten. Just the facts, Sir.
Serious enquiries only. –CuriousCat4

When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative’s “Love Wanted” section, I can’t resist the urge to respond. Yes, it’s dangerous—as a star forward for the Badgers I have a reputation to protect—but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom and reading that ad is the first time I’ve laughed in months.

So I reach out to Curious Cat about the “educational” opportunity…

A few sizzling—and hysterical—emails later we arrange to meet. I’m hoping we’ll have chemistry, and I might finally be on my way to getting over my ex-girlfriend.

And then the gate to the beer garden swings open and in walks Hailey.

My ex is Curious Cat, and this experiment just got a hell of a lot more complicated.
​But I never back down from a challenge—on or off the ice.

I keep my educational offer on the table—six weeks of submissive lessons. Six weeks to learn how to drive a Dominant man crazy, and then we part ways as friends.

Lili Valente has slept under the stars in Greece, eaten dinner at midnight with French men who couldn’t be trusted to keep their mouths on their food, and walked alone through Munich’s red light district after dark
and lived to tell the tale.

These days you can find her writing in a tent beside the sea, drinking coconut
water and thinking delightfully dirty thoughts.

We are thrilled to share the release of THE TROUBLEMAKER, a sexy, sweet standalone by author Lili Valente. You will not want to miss this new release, so grab your copy today!

The Troublemaker

Lili Valente

Release Date: April 23, 2018

They say Rafe Hunter is trouble with a capital T.I say–bring it on.

As long as Trouble comes in a package as delicious as Rafe’s, I’m ready to climb on his Harley and ride all night long–and I’m not just talking about his motorcycle.

I can hide out until the scandal with my evil ex blows over AND have a wild rebound at the same time. Besides, I’ve got no heart left to break. My ex made sure of that.

As long as Rafe and I keep our no-strings fling from our families, what can possibly go wrong?

***This is so damned wrong.

I don’t do drama, and this thing with Carrie Haverford has Bad News written all over it. After one red-hot kiss, I know I should cut and run.

Instead I take her home, take her in her car, take her to the beach and make her scream louder than the crashing waves. And then I take her so far into my heart I don’t see how I’m ever going to let her go.

The say the bigger and badder they are, the harder they fall. But when I fall for a girl with third degree love burns, how can I convince her that fire is a good thing?

This sexy Standalone romance will make you laugh, melt, and fall madly in love.

Some men are troublemakers or dealmakers. The men in my family? We’re baby makers.

For six generations, the women of wine country have had a saying: don’t bang a Hunter man unless you want a bun in your oven.

Yeah, well. I’ve got a saying too: no thanks. The last thing I need is baby makes three. My business is expanding and the only thing I’m interested in getting knocked up is my bottom line.

But then one night Emma Haverford makes me an offer I can’t refuse—she backs away from the land I have my eye on in exchange for a favor…

A big, fat, baby making favor…

******

When I hear women have gotten pregnant shaking hands with Hunter men, I know I need Dylan Hunter’s…ahem, special skills…way more than I need to expand my vineyard.

I’m ready to give my heart to a child and I’m tired of waiting for my late-to-the-party Prince Charming to make my dreams come true. So I promise Dylan—three months of hot, heavy, baby-making s-e-x and then I’m out of his hair forever.

But what if when it comes time to say good-bye, all I want to do is keep bottling up more memories with this big-hearted man?

This sexy Standalone romance will make you laugh, swoon, and blush baby-makin’ red. Heat level: A risk of getting knocked up during download. Paperback and audio versions are especially dangerous. Handle with care…

I think that the nice guys are underrated. Sure, I love a bad boy as much as the next girl, but, man, I’m happy as a clam to read a story where the hero is not a giant jerk. Author Lili Valente is one of my go-to romance authors, and her romantic comedies are some of my favorites, so when I not only get to read one of her books, and it’s a romantic comedy with a guy that I just, well, like, I figure it’s a pretty good day.

THE BABY MAKER is Lili’s latest offering, and I was all in from the very first page. I just knew that Dylan Hunter was my kind of guy. Oh, he talks a good game, but the big things for him, the things that really matter, are family, home, honor, and hard work. He’s just a good guy, and, while he may think that Emma Haverford isn’t his cup of tea, well, he just doesn’t know her well enough yet.

I adore Emma. She’s funny, passionate, and smart, and, actually just the sort of woman that Dylan would like, if he took off his grumpy pants for a second. And, when they connect, when Emma lays out her big plan, as crazy as it sounds, Dylan is hooked. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Lili has worked her usual magic and written a story that is the perfect combination of sweet and sexy, one that I happily lost myself in, one that has characters that I could imagine wanting to spend time with, all things that make a book a success for me. THE BABY MAKER is an easy 5 stars for me, because in a world that doesn’t always have happy endings, this story made me smile and believe that life can be happy and beautiful and full of love. Add this one to your TBRs, and enjoy.
